Yacolt Wild Parrot Preservation Efforts Continue (With a Few Hitches)

As mentioned a few days ago, pro-parrot citizens in Yacolt, Washington are attempting to forge a humane solution to the Yacolt Wild Quaker Parrot Crisis by deploying alternative nest platforms (AKA "Monk Bunkers"). The first construction session on Sunday had to be halted due to snow, but work continues this week. A permit for the platform must be obtained from the City of Yacolt, so the earliest the first platform can be erected will be in January.

Special thanks to the Quaker Parrot Society for donating funds for this first platform. You can support this effort either by using QPS's easy Pay Pal link (scroll down on the page and you'll see the button on the LH side) or by sending funds via postal mail to:
